Apple will soon have enough money to buy all their competitor manufacturers!

Image
When Apple next announces their financial results, they should have close to $70 billion in the bank, which means they would be able to buy all their competitior manufacturers except for Samsung. That list includes HTC, Nokia, RIM, LG, Motorola, Sony Ericsson(Google and Microsoft aren't manufacturers they are platform vendors) While market value of phone vendors declines, Apple grows and they will one day have more cash than the entire phone industry. 

Apple selling the GSM Unlocked iPhone 4 for $649.

Image
Apple is offering Unlocked iPhone 4's for $649. You can use it with any Apple supported carrier, in the US like AT&T, T-Mobile and so on. The 16GB is for $649 and the 32GB is for $749. Those prices are supported as long as you are having it shipped to a US address. What do you think about Apple offering the unlocked version of the iPhone 5? Is anyone going to order one?

Airbus concept plane.

Image
I know that this is a blog that is usually about Apple and so on but after seeing this I just could not let it through without a post. I don't think words are enough for this concept, so go ahead and just see the video for yourself... The cabin and overall design of it is just amazing, but this see-through plane would sure do the same to your wallet! That's for sure.

Codemasters website hacked.

Image
Summer 2011 is the season of hacking, a few of Sony's websites and PSN hacked and now Codemasters website has become a target from hackers. Independent UK developer Codemasters, responsible for titles like Dirt 3 and Formula 1 2010, has reported that ten of thousands of personal accounts were compromised on June 3rd  exposing the names, addresses (physical and emails), birthdays, phone numbers, Xbox gamer tags, biographies and passwords of registered users. Payment information wasn't compromised but with all that information that was accessed people will be furious. The website was turned offline as soon as the threat was detected . Those who were directly effected are being emailed apologies while the rest of us are being appointed to the company's Facebook page. We'll keep you updated if anything else pops up.

Apple gets to go to court, again! This time with iCloud....

Image
It's the usual drill, Apple introduces a new product in Cupertino and another company having the same name takes them to court. Well, it happened again, this time with iCloud. Arizona based company iCloud Communications use the logo above and offer VoIP equipment and service provider, though in court documents it also seems to be a cloud computing company. By now we all know that there is just gonna be a nice little settelment out of court but we'll let you know if anything serious breaks out.

WWDC 2011: Apple (Update)

Image
So Steve Jobs took the stage for Apple at WWDC and got into his phase of competitiveness by comparing with other brands and as usual showing off their statistics. Phil showed us Mac OSX Lion and demoed a few features like Resume, Air Drop, new Mail and so on, and it was well just as expected.... very good! iOS 5 really surprised not just me but everyone, new notifications(which were expected) in the same pull down bar like Android but yet again Apple revolutionized it. They added Reminders, split keyboard, new Photo Editing features, improved other things too! Reminders reminds you what you have to do in a better way and you can set to remind you to do something when you leave a place or arrive at a place using Location Services.  "We just looked into the software and thought of why people go to a PC and we put those functionalities in iOS" yep, they sure did and now you dont even have to plug an iOS device into a Computer after you buy it you can just set it up on the go

Windows 8 showed off.

Image
Windows 8 was showed off recently and well "Windows lost all of its windows" Microsoft decided to blend up Windows 7 with the mobile version of Windows an I personally think that Microsoft can't expect to blend both of these up and think it would work. We have got a video for you.... So it would work on a touchscreen device perfectly but what will they do for those people with normal laptops who cant afford to buy a Mac, well, for them it's time to start praying for their future.

Microsoft will talk about the next version of Windows tonight at Computex.

HP TouchPad coming June 12?

Image
PreCentral got its hand on QuickSpecs sheet of the HP TouchPad, but what is interesting is that it has a date at the bottom. June 12 is what it says, there have been other leaks of pricing. A major retailer priced the TouchPad at $499-$599 depending on the hard drive size. The HP TouchPad is said to be the iPad's biggest contender, but thats what every one says.
